Spring blossoms underway! The heady smell of plants blossoming is almost overwhelming when I step out on the patio. First the irises which are in a small raised bed just off the patio assault the senses with a heavenly smell that just infuses the patio. Next the wisteria is blooming like crazy and it encircles the patio posts and trellises across with blossoms hanging between the lattice overhead. And finally the sweet jasmine just outside my office window are filled with star-like blossoms that are heady!

But it's our hummingbird babies I just have to share a picture with you. Now aren't they the cutest! Here's a post I recently wrote after discovering the nest.

But that's not all, this past month has been hectic and fun all rolled into one. Let me share a bit with links to the blog posts if you'd like to read more! Happy Flowers, some lovely "happy" flowers sent to me by my cousin after visiting while our aunt was hospitalized and now in rehab. They are gorgeous! And then Grandparent's Day at our grandson's school. Oh happy day, what fun to have a picnic with your grandchildren in an open field!

Solve the Riddle...

A farmer is trying to cross a river with a bag of corn, a hen, and a fox. The farmer's boat is only big enough to take himself and one other item per trip. The hen cannot be left alone with the corn or she will eat it. Likewise the fox cannot be left with the hen, or the hen will be eaten. How does the farmer get all three items across the river?
